They would have an easy time doing something like this here. Public places in America have no security at all, and if they do, its all a joke, including airport and airline security. Another reason is that the government has done a poor job informing the public about terrorism, what to do to prevent it and how to act during an attack. They should have been sending booklets with info to every household after 9/11. But they didn't. And this will cost the US in the future. An uninformed population is prone to more disaster.

Only a matter of time.

Today is modern Europes 9/11 , it puts the lie to the rat assertions that we are in this alone.

Our allies were attacked today, and apparently John Kerry doesn't know we have an ally in Spain.

Last Friday, this horse faced retard said:

We cannot win the War on Terror through military power alone. If I am President, I will be prepared to use military force to protect our security, our people, and our vital interests.

But the fight requires us to use every tool at our disposal. Not only a strong military – but renewed alliances, vigorous law enforcement, reliable intelligence, and unremitting effort to shut down the flow of terrorist funds.

To do all this, and to do our best, demands that we work with other countries instead of walking alone. For today the agents of terrorism work and lurk in the shadows of 60 nations on every continent. In this entangled world, we need to build real and enduring alliances.

Allies give us more hands in the struggle, but no President would ever let them tie our hands and prevent us from doing what must be done. As President, I will not wait for a green light from abroad when our safety is at stake. But I will not push away those who can and should share the burden.

Apparently Spain doesn't count as an ally to Kerry.

Only the Socialist Europeans count as allies to him.
